The Federation Of Lab.r.


The new Federation of Labor threatens
TO overthrow General Master Workman T.
V. Powderly, and, in fact, the entire or-
ganization of the Knights of Labor. At a
meeting of the former held in Baltimore
last week it was unanimously concluded to
observe the strictest economy in the dis
pensation of matters appertaining directly
TO the order. Resolutions were passed IA
voring eight hours as a working day and
condemning strikes as carried on in the
past. If the new labor organization con-
tinues in the principles marked out, there
is no question but what it will become
power in matters concerning the welfare OF
the masses. Carried on on strict business
principles, ayowedly for the betterment o.
the laboring class it has before 1t duty tt
perform that in magnitude is ncalcuable
but honest, earnest and determined etfor
will eventual, surmount all obstacles
That the leaders of the new organization
are determined in their purpose, the fol

tests:

Rerublioan Convention rs. Allentown

Efforts are being made by influential Re
publicans in this section of the State to
have the next Republican State Conven-
tion convene at Allentown-the Queen City
of the Lehigh Valley. A circular, setting
forth the various advantages, &c, has been
sent to the Republican State Committee
for consideration. Allentown is fully cap
able of entertaining so large body of men
as will undoubtedly be in attendance at the
coming onyention-numerous hotels,
means unlimited accommodation. large
and commodious hall is at command also;
the only thing that the city cannot promise
is Republican majority, but with the vote
outside the ticket nominated would most
likely pull through. The sentiment fol
holding the convention Allentown is
or stallzing rapidly and it will not be sur
prising if that city secures the coYetet
prize.

The Strike Sill cntinr.s

Fifteen weeks, one hundred and five
days, of the Lehigh coal strike have passed
and the result is as uncertain now as il
was fifteen weeks ago. Miners and opera
tors are firm and loud in their expressions
to hold out. Thus far the whole Lehigh
Valley has suffered more or less. News
paper reports have It that the striking min.
ers are well supported by contributions
from the labor organizations OF the entire
commonwealth; on the other hand the op-
orators deny this, and claim that but linn.

shark vs.. Sea Lion.

Yesterday, as a number of fisher
men were engaged in netting for
salmon and bass on the bay between
Alcatraz and Saucelito. their atten-
tion was directed to terrible COM
motion under the surface, in close
proximity TO their nets. The occu-
pants of one Of the boats Immediately
pulled up alongside of the naval COM
batants. Ii was found that the battle
centered between a l2-foot man eating
shark and one of the valiant sea lions
of the Cliff. The water around Yves
stained with the sea lions blood. The
fishermen state that the lion would
on every occasion sink its teeth deep
into the back OF the shark; the latter
would then execute a rotary move
ment which would release him from
the lions hold. The monarch of the
Cliff. finally detecting that it was a
useless attempt on his part to con-
quer the hyena of the ocean, made a
rather feeble effort to escape. The
shark, true to his voracious nature,
would not relinquish the attack, and
making a final dash at his adversary,
the two monsters struggled until
they got entangled in the nets. 1t
was with much difficulty that they
landed their big game. When On
land the shark was full of life, and
the boatsmen found it no small mat
ter to dispatch it. The sea lion was
dead when taken from the net. The
shark, a genuine man-eater, was Il
feet long and weighs about 1000
pounds.-San Francisco Call.

In Brief, And to the Point.

Dyspepsia is dreadful. Disordered
liver is misery. Indigestion is a foe
to good nature.
The human digestive apparatus is
one of the most complicated and won-
derful things in existence. It is easily
put out of order.
Greasy food, tough food, sloppy
food, bad cookery, mental worry, late
hours, irregular habits, and many
other things which ought not to be,
have made the American people a
nation of dyspeptics.
But Green's August Flower has
done wonderful work in reforming
this sad business and making the
American people so healthy that they
can enjoy their meals and be happy.
Remember:-No happiness without
health. But Green's August Flower
brings health and happiness to the
dyspeptic. Ask your druggist for {
bottle. Seventy-five cents.

THE PRELIMINARY. EXAMINATION

Cathlamet was the scene of an in
teresting examination last Monday,
the first charge of having violated the
territorial fishing law being before a
court
Hugh Murray, manager OF the Bay
View cannery, had been arrested last
week charged with canning salmon
taken from the river in August, and
on the day mentioned had a prelim-
mary examination before justice of
the peace Graham at his Office in
Cathlamet.
Governor Semple was present and
gave the court his views of the law
generally governing justices of the
peace in examinations. 1t appeared
that the sheriff had visited the can
merry and stated that he would not OBJ
iect to the fish then in sight being
canned. Before the fish were put
away, however, he arrested Mr.. Muir
ray and filed complaint against him.
The court held that neither the sher-
iff of the county nor the governor of
the territory had any authority to
suspend the laws and that cannery-
men were as liable under the law for
packing salmon with the consent of
those officers as without.
In the evening the governor ad-
dressed the fishermen of Cathlamet
on the fishing question advising them
10 send to him, or their representa-
tives. all ideas they had concerning
fish laws, that the fullest information
might be laid before the legislative
session TO be held this fall.
He argued that hard or poor sea-
son in the fishing business was no ex-
cuse for destroying the enterprise;
that the miners on the Sacramento
claimed they could trke out more
money than would be sufficient to
buy the farming lands and that the
lands should be bought for dumping
purposes. But the plan was not ac-
cepted because when the money was
taken ont of the mines only barren
waste would he left, but the farming
lands could be cultivated and made
To yield harvests annually 10 the end
of time.
So the Columbia river under prop
er regulations would afford fish to a
value of two and one-half to three
million dollars annually, but il ex-
ceptions were to he made for light
runs, poor luck, etc, the whole would
he destroyed for temporary gain.
The defendant gave bonds to ap-
pear before the Kalama grand jury
at the coming session OF court.
